Do not know exactly why, but I just love bikes! A passion which is difficult to explain to some. I have had a Susuki, Honda, Yamaha and several BMWs. Love the BMWs and will always have one! I ride track, endurance (iron butts), sport touring and cycle/camping.
Why do I own an Ultra, my second Harley? A couple of reasons. One is that it is common knowledge that I ride and the first question always is, "Do you have a Harley?"
Answer: Yes, and...
I view a Harley a rolling piece of Art! Visually very appealing. I am proud to ride it. Mechanically - that is another issue! Getting better, but... Wish my Harley was as comfortable, smooth, trouble free and reliable as my BMWs, but I still love it.
